FUEL-MIXING DEVICE.

Application filedjAugust 16, 1921. are; No. 492,758.

g The herein described deviceirelates tofuelmixing device for use in automobiles and one of the objects of the said inventionis to provide means for the Continuous vaporizing and breaking up of the condensed fuel' particles in the fuel mixture passing to the motor, to SLlClLCOIlSlStQIlOY as 'willflbe the means of an automobile running more smoothly, with the use of and to prevenflknocks.

The herein described device s inexpensive less fuel mixture,

to manufacture, readily applied to any make automobile, hasno loose parts tobecome se aratecl, worn or destroyed in any manner.

Vhile the foregoing explains the general 1 purpose and objects of the device, other ob-' jects and advantages will appear in thespecifications that follow, in which the novel 7 features, construction and arrangements of the various partswill be brought out, de-

scribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, forminga part of this specification, and in which corresponding parts are denoted by like designating numerals is illustrated the'preferred storm of the embodiments otthe invention capable of carrying the sameinto practical operation, it being understood that them vention is not necessarily limited thereto,-
